Chronicles of Old Singapore | Ibrahim Ariff – The Bugis Myth Ep1: Portrayal of the Bugis as Pirates

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Ibrahim Ariff talks about how the common perception of the Bugis as pirates came from the British colonial government, and how he experienced the stigma himself. This prompted him to write a book, The Bugis in Singapore, to correct the misconception.


The Bugis in Singapore by Ibrahim Ariff is available at the National Library:
